I feed mine 1 chocolate chip or sand sifter every 2 weeks. Takes him around 2 weeks to eat a whole one.
When he first cleaned my tank I was happy. Then he continued to clean my tank when I didn’t give him anymore starfish. Then I was educated. Keep harlequin happy or suffer the consequences.
I don’t qt at all. Wash it in fresh water first then drop it the tank. Takes a minute or 2 for him to find it.
If I do more than 1 starfish he will go collect all of them and keep them in a pile while he eats. Last time I got 3 and he went and got all of them. Took him a month to eat all 3.
After he finished them I figured he would be good for a couple weeks. After a week I started noticing a lot of empty shells in my tank. He ate my conchs, snails, hermits, even the darn bristle worms.
